"The inspiration of that song, as most ballads go, definitely a lady and a relationship that I was in, it was just, you know, something that we thought everybody, people could relate to. It's, you know, people have tough time conveying their emotions. There's no better way of writing it down sometimes. That's exactly what the songs was to us."[3]
